Guest user access
The Digizuite™ Media Manager requires a user for accessing the API to collect configuration. The user you define will also be the one that guests use when they access the MM without logging in (not if your site set up to be "login required").
By default, this user has already been set up. The user is named "guest" and can be located in Users and groups → Users → System users.
This user has been born with the following Groups: Anonymous and Guest, and with the following roles: Asset_Can_Download and MediaPortal_User.
If you want to change your site to use another user instead, you will have to do the following:
Locate and open your MM's appsettings.json file placed in the root of your site folder (Usually in C:/Webs/[your MM's folder]/appsettings.json)
Change the value for guestUsername to be the new username.
Change the value for guestPassword to be the corresponding password written in md5. (This you can generate yourself, or you can find it in the databse in the member table)
The guest user must have the role MediaPortal_User to function correctly.
Note
The guest user must be different from the social media user (product configuration).
Template user
The Digizuite™ Media Manager requires a backend template user that defines roles when creating new users from self-signup. This user must be set in the ConfigManager of the Digizuite™ Media Manager in parameter User Template for Self Signup users.
Create a new backend user - we recommend template_user.
Put the new user in the "Contributor" group or alternatively another group with MediaPortal_Collection and MediaPortal_User roles.
Note: If using No verification sign up mode, make sure to check the Approved checkbox on the template user. Likewise, the checkbox should be left unchecked for the other verification configurations.
User for embedded links
If configured (Embed code enabled), the application offers the creation of embed code. The system needs a specific backend user to define rights and roles for that material.
By default, the system defines a backend user called Guest_be which has very limited access.
Search
The search XML definitions under Digizuite™ Media Manager config must enable Solr usage.
If you should choose to change the metadata setup of the filtering functionality, you must ensure that all searches deliver the same filtering definitions.
In the ConfigManager, navigate to the Search tab and locate the Digizuite_System_Framework_Search definition.
Enable Solr
Save
Start repopulating the search cache by clicking the gear icon of the search definition.
Note: This is only for Office Connector and Creative Cloud Connector
Download qualities
You can assign different download qualities to suit the company's solution. Navigate to System tools → Local users and groups → Groups and select Contributor. In the left panel, it can be noticed that the information about the group has been loaded. Select Download qualities tab.
Make sure the desired qualities are present and they will automatically be available in the Digizuite™ Media Manager website.
SMTP setup
The Digizuite™ Media Manager uses SMTP functionality for various tasks like sharing links, notifications, etc.
Navigate to System tools → Digizuite™ Configuration and locate the following constants:
SMTPDELIVERYMETHOD – configure the delivery method of the e-mail
SMTPPASSWORD – update with SMTP server password
SMTPPICKUPDIRECTORY – configure the pick-up directory of the e-mail
SMTPSERVER – update with SMTP server name
SMTPSERVERPORT – update with the SMTP server port
SMTPUSERNAME – update with the SMTP server username
Note: For detailed information on how to configure the e-mail feature, consult the DAM Center documentation.
Email templates
The application defines mail templates for sending out emails like confirmation and download links. You may change these to fit your organization.
Navigate to System Tools → ConfigManager → Digizuite™ Media Manager and select the correct version. Select the Config parameters tab and Mail templates section.
